Zoo
Hospital is a fun and compelling combination of Touch Screen medical mini-games with a wide array of exotic and endangered species," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing, Majesco. "Budding vets and animal lovers will gain exposure to different animals while learning how to soothe and care for them via real veterinary techniques."
Players begin with 10 wild animal species – jaguar, zebra, chimp, panda, hyena, kangaroo, lion, eagle, cobra and the endangered fossa. Gamers must identify and treat their ailments, while checking vital signs and learning how to calm their stressed patients. Players use the touch screen and stylus to tackle challenging medical mini-games, including: administering injections, applying ointment, bandaging appendages, pulling teeth, x-raying organs and much more. A two-player cooperative mode also allows friends to team up to treat their animals.
Zoo
Hospital will be in full operation starting in the fall. For additional information on your future as a vet, check out the game at www.majescoentertainment.com.
